    Is a average bench that doesn't get dominated every game too much to ask for? How hard can it be to get a couple of decent bench players?

    Terry has yet to try more than a 9 man rotation in a non-blowout yet this season. I dunno why he's so averse to using more guys

    I think even Jason Collins would be a better bench big than Meyers.

    This makes no sense to me...Lopez has how many double doubles from Nic's assists this season? Why stop now?

    He hasn't made a shot. He passed to an open Leonard for one shot. That's one way for them to score. Maybe posting Freeland down low to get one of Mo's inevitable misses and put it back would be a way. Maybe Wright making open corner 3's.

    Plenty of ways for the bench to score than letting Mo chuck without even passing the ball.

    I'm fine with Mo being out there to give Damian rest, but hate the combo of dame and mo in the lineup at the same time. 2nd unit should be Mo, Wes, Wright, Trob, Freeland with a sprinkle of CJ.

    Who gives Wes a breather then? If not Dame, CJ?

    That he could get a double-double if he scored 10 points in the 2nd. I assumed you were joking, since he has 3 points, but saying a tongue-in-cheek "he can go from a double-single to a triple double if, among other things, he scores 10 pts".

    Cj for Wes, then Damian back in for Mo. I have no idea why Trob keeps getting pulled, hes 10x the player Leonard is.

    Oh I meant 7/4/5. He's perfectly capable of scoring 7 points

    Apparently, TRob doesn't know the plays or defensive schemes.

    You know guys, we have a little pre-allstar game break mini slump, we're 3rd in the west, 1st offensively and up a pt at halftime, no need to fire the coach, blow up the roster and hire a new GM

    We are so fortunate to have a 7 footer who can hit his free throws

    I wonder if butterball stores food in those cheeks so he can eat while playing.
